| Editorial Reviews | "[A] beguilingly irresistible book. Like a lost lover, it holds on tight long after the affair is over.” - The New York Times Book Review "Time and again in these seven stories, Murakami displays his singular genius.” - Los Angeles Times “Affecting. . . . Murakami is a master of the open-ended mystery. . . . His meandering, mesmerizing tales of profound alienation are driven by puzzling circumstances that neither his characters nor readers can crack—recalling existentialist Gabriel Marcel’s assertion that ‘Life is not a problem to be solved but a mystery to be experienced.’” — The Washington Post |
